By LINDA CRAVOTTA Years ago the Rathskeller, Dan ziger's tavern restaurant was a soda bar, a baby apparel shop, and a dirty, damp storage area. . Today it is one of the most popular and historic sites in Chapel Hill. "Originally the Rathskeller was designed for professors to come to have a quiet place to relax, talk and drink a beer," said B. C, the amiable manager, of the Rath skeller. Formerly a Tavern, the Rat was soon adopted by college students, as their special meeting place. The owner, Edward "Papa" Dan ziger, a refugee from Hitlerism, ar rived in New York from Vienna," Austria, with only $4.00 in his pocket. Sponsored by Dr. D. D. Carroll, former dean of the School of Busi ness Administration, he came to Chape! Hill with his family and opened a candy store-restaurant where his gift shop is now located. The Rat was in Mr. Danziger's words, "an empty, dirty terrible place" when he first saw it. It was so uninviting that the whole area of the present Rat was turned over to him with the statement that no one wanted it. Danziger used the area for making candy for his shop upstairs. In 1949, Mr. Danziger's son, Ted, dug out the floor of the Rat and started preparing it for business. Dirt was hauled away in the trunk of his car and the present flag stone floor was laid. Ted Danziger is the overall supervisor of the Rat, the Ranch House. theZoom Zoom and also a proposed im new reslaurant-t a v e r n combining the features of all of them to be locat ed on the Durham Boulevard. The familiar face of B.C. (Ben jamin Carroll) is seen in the Bat around eighty hours a week. "I don't think of this as work." said the jovial manager, who obviously has a great fondness for people. When asked to compare the ori ginal Rathskeller with the Rat oi today, B.C. admitted that the veter ans who attended college after WW II consumed more beer in a couple Of hours in the Rat's one original room, than students now consume in an entire day in five rooms of the expanded Rat.' . The extra rooms were added over the years. The French room was designed for couples because there was not room for tables for four. The large back room, The Hole in the Wall, was originally design ed to include dancing. The idea was discarded because it . involved a cabaret tax.
